MDEP Essential Skills Guide updated!

MDEP team members collated skill lists from a diverse variety of educational, publication, and industry resources. The collated lists were presented to over 300 industry and community stakeholders at several large meetings. After receiving feedback, MDEP gave priority to what industry and workforce development partners indicated as most important, dividing the 40-50 skills that remained into six general categories and refined explanations for each subset skill within. We present them in a single document that could be used for new employees, students about to enter the workforce, or as a resource for any coursework that touches job/career preparedness. It is the first of a number of resources to come.
